By now most of you may have heard of the relatively new but already quite popular children’s book company, Bharat Babies. Bharat Babies was established in 2013, when soon-to-be mother Sailaja Joshi realized that there just weren’t enough children’s books that featured the stories of India’s heritage. To date Bharat Babies has designed and published seven developmentally appropriate books, categorized according to three levels, showcasing the different religions of South Asia. Hanuman and the Read More …

It has taken me over five years to admit that I have purchased way too many clothes, toys, and baby gear for my children. Every closet door I opened (until recently) was stuffed with bags and boxes of old clothing, some of which had never been worn and with tags still attached. Over the past few years I have generously donated and passed down Read More …

Although I do tend to limit my children’s sugar intake, they still have dessert in reasonable portions, and treats. Dessert and treats are not something that I would take away completely as I feel that is a big part of being a kid. I have been lucky to have found YumEarth Organics a couple years ago at Winners. The lollipops and Read More …

Recently my daughter and son transitioned from their toddler beds to single beds. With this transition came my need to redecorate their shared bedroom, and to look for new artwork for their walls. In my experience, finding the perfect artwork for children is rather difficult but luckily for me, I came across Cici Art Factory, while browsing away on my Read More …

Although Organique Basket mostly builds its baskets using food Read More …

Today is my Akshaya’s first day of Tap class at the Toronto Dance Industry, so I thought what better day than today to write a review on this amazing dance school. Akshaya has been with the Toronto Dance Industry for more than an year now and I couldn’t be happier with my choice to enroll her at this studio. The Toronto Dance Industry, a family-run business, offers a wide Read More …

Recently I posted a video on Facebook of my son reading his first book which resulted in a ton of messages asking how he learned to read. Unfortunately the video is too big to upload into this post, but you can view it on my Facebook page here. I should probably add that my son just turned three last month. The main reason he is reading Read More …

I am lucky that my daughter goes to a school within walking distance and that my dad is able to pick up my kindergartener for lunch, feed her and take her back. My daughter is one picky little girl and she doesn’t eat unless fed or constantly told to eat, which is why I decided on picking her up for Read More …

The Echinacea plant is more than just a beautiful plant. It has anti-viral, anti-bacterial, and anti-inflammatory properties which help fight infection and reduce symptoms of cold and flu such as sore throat, runny nose, nasal congestion, and fever. There are many Echinacea products out there but my favourite is the one is Echinaforce by A.Vogel. Echinaforce can be taken Read More …

Vitamin D is important for the maintenance of good health. Our body has the ability to produce this vitamin in the presence of sunlight. Unfortunately living in colder climates with harsh winters limit sun exposure and therefore the production of Vitamin D. A recent study shows that approximately 70% of children are not getting the required amount of Vitamin D Read More …
